cellunlocker [.net] costs $8 usd and it's what we're all using. I personally unlocked two Rogers Moto X using it, and others on this forum said the same thing. There's already a thread for unlocking, read that one instead.

My curiosity is, if you unlock the AT&T version, will it work on T-Mobile's LTE network as well?
It should. I've used Xperia with no issues on TMo. Does cellunlocker work realiably for AT&T version?
I have heard about Roger's X being unlocked. But so far it seems nobody can confirm that AT&T moto maker ones can be unlocked. Or am I totally out off the loop?
Finally! With Motomaker's AT&T off-contract device available for purchase now, I understand that the SIM can be unlocked for use on non-AT&T networks. Does that mean it can even be used internationally? European and Asian networks?

I used cellunlocker to unlock my AT&T Moto X. Worked without any problems. Had unlock code in about an hour after placing order. Once unlocked, the Moto X works perfectly on TMO LTE network.

Keep in mind that the AT&T version lacks the 1700 UMTS band, which means that if you're in an area where TMobile hasn't reframed (to use the 1900 band) you won't have 3G coverage. Basically you'll be switching between LTE and 2G in those areas, and considering TMo's LTE coverage that could be a problem. Get the TMo version unless you plan to travel to/live in Puerto Rico or Chile (according to Wikipedia...).

What are you talking about? T-Mobile doesn't offer ANY Motorola phones, let alone Moto X.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Check their stores or the website. You can get a non-carrier branded unlocked phone directly from Google for $400-450 depending on the config.
Anybody knows if there is a way to unlock Moto X for free?http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Thanks.
I keep searching, but can't find anything. Is there a site that I can buy the code from or is it even GSM capable in the country?

I just called and spoke to the International services people. They waived the 90-day requirement for me, and unlocked the phone. Haven't tested it yet, though.

HI dev ,
i am from Nagpur, did you got any solution for Sprint MOTO X ? pl help me if you have any solution. i bought two phones from eBay.
Thanks.
Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .

No man can hack it, what a pity!
Unlocking the phone for use with GSM Sim without Sprint service is not possible as Moto only releases the codes to the specific carrier and Sprint will not give it to you.
If you do get it unlocked, it will not work in the US on a GSM network ie: T-Mobile or ATT. They're hardware restricted from working on local GSM networks p/fca allowances. I have seen a few devices like some black Berry's work locally after being unlocked but they are few and far between.

I'm looking to get a non contract moto X but am confused by all the versions. For instance, Republic sells it for $299.
https://republicwireless.com/phones/moto-x
Is that the same moto X sold for $349 on cyber Wednesday and Saturday at

If different, what's the difference?

Republic wireless phone only works with republic wireless.
Start with your carrier then go from there. If GSM and you NEED root i suggest t-mobile or dev edition so u can unlock bootloader and always guarantee root.
What carrier are you on? As the other guy said, if you have a GSM carrier (AT&T, tmobile, other mvno's of those carriers), then go with the tmobile version. You CAN unlock the bootloader and root it, and it comes sim unlocked so you can use it on att/whatever other gsm carrier you want. If you have verizon, then get the CDMA dev edition.

I want it as a non contract phone. Currently I'm on straighttalk and they have a system where you buy a sim from them. But I may go elsewhere. I'm debating between a moto X or a nexus 5.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm repeating questions, but I'm not from the US.
So I'm not too familiar with mobile phones being locked and sim locked and things like these.
My question is, I'm thinking of bringing a Moto X into Singapore for my daily use.
Just wondering, according to all the above comments, I should bring in a T-Mobile version instead since sim and bootloader is not locked to any carrier?
And I got one more question
All these different carrier version, the radios are the same? or do they all differ slightly? I'm asking because in Singapore, I think the radios here are a little different from the US

The radios all differ slightly. And yes, you should get the tmobile one since it's sim unlocked. I don't know the bands of your carrier, so you might have to look it up and compare it with the US bands.
Ok just checked. Seems like only 3G will work in Singapore. LTE here is band 3 and 7. whereas T-mobile seems to be just on band 4.

Haven't seen anything yet, but if T-Mobile's history is any consolation, it should come unlocked. Almost all their phones are.
We can confidently say "yes" according to the past records.

AT&T yes, see my sig.
Verizon?? Well, VZW is CDMA and TMO is GSM. So it won't work on VZW unless the phone is dual GSM and CDMA.
Non locked bootloader
I called samsung today and spoke with a lady and she said that T-mobile has no plans of locking the bootloaders nor does samsung, and that locking bootloaders is solely on the carrier. So, I assume, we can have free reign over our bad a$$ note 4 on T-Mobile... I made the switch to them today from ATT...
I hope the BL is unlocked....I got the z1s and its been damn near depressing to see a device with so much potential be crippled by a locked BL....And its the only reason I'm making the jump to the N4...If the BL is locked on the N4 then I'm opting for the Nexus 6

I see there is a root guide over in TMOB Android Development for root. Doesn't that mean that the boot loader mst be unlocked? I have not tried it yet myself as I was waiting for a SIM unlock and TWRP or CWM first.

no it does not, att and verizon note 3 got root and both had locked bootloaders
We can confirm that Bootloader is unlocked. People have rooted using Chainfire's auto root. Since that method requires an unlocked bootloader, it is 100% confirmed that the bootloader is unlocked.
YAY!!!!

What is the model number of the T Mobile Note 4 that fits this description? Also curious if the Verizon Developer Edition fits this description despite my not being able to find one anywhere.
Does a comprehensive list exist anywhere that shows what USA Carrier branded phones, by make and model, that can and cannot be made to work on carriers which they were not originally branded?

Hi guys Telenor Sweden has offered me a pretty good deal on the nexus 6 and I was thinking about getting the phone. But the contract interest my wife more than me, so I thought ill give her the simcard and unlock the phone to use with my tele2 simcard. Is it possible to carrier unlock the nexus 6 ? Any help would be awesome

Here in the US only two carriers lock the Sim it just depends on your carrier.
Not all Nexus devices are sold SIM-unlocked. When the phones were released, some carriers were selling the Nexus One, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus SIM-locked. I haven't heard of any N6's sold SIM-locked yet, but it could always be a possibility.
